I Want To Be A Mortician Stories of Experiences

I graduate in June with my Bachelors of Mortuary Science, if you have any questions ask away! I recommend you try to work at your local funeral home as an assistant or night attendant. Experience will prove worth while in this field...

People usually think I'm joking, or being morbid when I say that I want to be a mortician. But for me, it isn't about being morbid, and it's not a joke.
I've been looking into Worsham in Wheeling lately, and I think I would like to go...

I have wanted to be a mortician ever since I was 14 years old. Of course, I got all kinds of dirty looks and tons of people trying to talk me out of it. For a while, I listened. I went into nursing, but still had the desire tugging at...

Hi I am 24 and want to go to school for mortuary science. I have no doubt that I can handle the classes or the sight of dead people. But the smell does make me doubt myself. Also I'm not exactly the typical conservative looking person...

Anyone on here interested in the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science?
That's where I plan on going and was wondering if anyone had any insight to this school.

Like most of you here, I am intrigued by dead bodies and want to help them recover some dignity in their death. I would work exclusively on female bodies as I think it is more of a challenge to make them look pretty again. Whenever I...

Ever since I was little I've always had a fascination with the human body and dying. Not in a "future murderer" way, just curiosity. I love biology and I considered becoming a forensic pathologist for a while, but it's very popular...

I'm excited to start funeral college this September! I've always loved science especially when dealing with the body. I narrowed down my choices and realized that I did NOT want to become a nurse.
There is a bad program at the...

i wanted to do forensic psychology, but the job field is not that good in it. so i thought why not be a mortician...its not like people are going to stop dying?

I can't work because of medical reasons but sometimes when I think of a job I could of had it would be to work with dead bodies. I don't know why I mean I could of easily worked at an animal shelter as I love animals but working in...

I'm getting my BA in hospitality and tourism but i dont care for the industry. Dont like working with snobby people and hate feeling like people THINK they are better than me. Im not a bubbly person but i do love to help people...

They say you are only guaranteed two things in life, 1- you are going to pay taxes and 2- you are going to die.
            Remember when you were a little kid, like 7 or 8 years...

I've pretty much always wanted to be a mortician. I wouldn't say I think it would be fun exactly, but it would be a fulfilling job. 

A few months ago i was pretty aimless...all of my friends were making plans college and seemed just so sure of what they wanted to do with their lives. I found it really depressing that i was not one of them: didnt know what i wanted to...

I have pretty much wanted to be a mortician since I was in my mid-teens.
I had lost several people I loved and knew and wanted to help other families going through the same feel more at peace with their loved ones death.
I feel that a...

I would like to be a mortician (though I think I'd prefer the euphemism "funeral director"), however I'm fairly certain I'm far too lazy to take all of the science/medical requirements. I'll probably end up getting some wildly...

I heard that was a dead job lol

No. I've never wanted to be one. I have an over active imagination at times and I don't think the two would mix very well.

I want to work in entertainment PR.

I took a forensics class in high school and loved it. But I didn't want to be the one to figure out what happened. I wanted to be the one that fixed up the deceased so that they looked good for their funeral. I'm pretty good with makeup...
